Thread: What can we traders learn from Sachin

1) @sachin_rt is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen of all time & has played several amazing knocks. But one that stands out is his 241* at Sydney. He did not play a single cover drive in the entire innings

#SachinTendulkar
2) Look at his stance on the crease. Look at the balance. Perfect. Simply elegant. Looks so pleasing to the eye.

Even @bhogleharsha once said, “When Sachin hits a cover drive, the world seems all the more beautiful.”
3) But in the series against Australia. Sachin had been getting out by trying to drive the ball outside off.

He had scored just 88 runs in the previous three matches and had registered 2 ducks as well. So he decided that he needs to change something to score more runs
4) He himself imposed barricade on strokeplay. He decided not to play balls pitching on the off side.

A world that knew him for scintillating drives through the covers, off the front foot and back, was shocked to see him scoring all most all his runs on the leg side.
5) Sachin did not even play one drive through the off side in more than 10 hours of batting😳

The balls that pitched up outside the off-stump were allowed to go through.
6) “Greatness is not just what you are capable of doing, it’s also what you can stop yourself doing when needed”

Just look at the discipline of Sachin to not play a single delivery outside off stump even though that has been his favourite shot.

Truly brilliant !
7) Sachin is G.O.A.T due to this discipline.

He united over a billion people in a way that no one and nothing ever has, and probably never will. It is no secret that cricket is a religion in India & Sachin Tendulkar its most worshipped God.
8) If we as traders can even get 10% of Sachin’s self-discipline then it would take our trading to the next level

“It doesn’t matter how much you want success, it all boils down to how much you are willing to do what it takes”

End

#HappyBirthdaySachin #GOAT𓃵

But that was just the beginning.
The market then staged an incredible rally, surging over 1,300 points from the day's low to hit a high of 84,515 and again fell 1200 points to 83300 and again rallied to 84600

Crazy Volatility🎢Image

Thread : Days to Remember🧵

1) I saw few tweets saying that this is the most difficult market ever.

As a trader, we have signed up for these risks & All we can do is be prepared & manage them

Lets have a look at days when markets action was crazier than current times !
2) 18th may 2009

Markets opened at 9:55 AM as this was the market opening time at that time
Nifty immediately hit an 20 % upper circuit at 10.01 am and the markets froze.
So markets were open only for 6 minutes.

3) 24th Aug 2015 (Vega Risk)

On 24th August 2015, the Indian markets declined close to 5.92%.

Nifty around 490 points but something unusual happened on that day.

Far otm Call options shot up inspite of such a huge fall😲

Vix shot up 64%.

Thread : From +5% to -1% for April.. Mistakes made & lessons learnt🧵

1) I was up 5% on capital for April till 2nd week but in last week went from +5% to -1%

So what went wrong, what mistakes I did & the lesson learnt !

#trading
2) I was having a great month & that made me more complacement as I made around 24% returns in last 4 months

As Paul Tudor Jone says

“My biggest losses have always come after I have had a great period & I started to think that I knew something”
3) So what went wrong ?

Tuesday :
BNF crossed 37000 & I sold 36500 put as per my system

But BNF reversed in last 30 mins & my otm stop (36000) got triggered.

I exited hedge as I thought this is just a pullback but BnF kept tanking & lost around 2% on capital on Tue

How to become more productive & achieve results🧵

1) An important concept that I learnt last year and which has helped me immensely is “Non Zero Day”

There should be no zero days.

What's a zero day?

A zero day is when you don't do a single thing towards your dream or goal
2) Didnt' do anything all day and it's 11:58 PM?

Write one sentence.
One pushup.
Read one page of that chapter.
Write one line of code.

One. Because one is non zero.
3) Turning your dreams into reality doesn’t happen magically.
It happens from a massive string of CONSISTENT NON ZEROS.

0.99^ 365 =0.03 but
1.01 ^ 365 = 37.8

Small improvements daily add to great results overtime
